I have had the same problem. It had something to do with the wron UDMA mode for the DVD writer. Which has something to do with sata drivers taking over all ide en sata devices in Hardy.
All the problems I was having I wrote in the following tread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=767278 The solution for me was to edit the boot grub and ad the following to the end of the kernel line: all_generic_ide Like this: kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-16-generic root=UUID=4fd2a7c6-a5b9-49c0-9488-88fbf7fa0983 ro quiet splash all_generic_ide After a reboot this fixed everything for me. I am still very interested to find out what exactly the is with the drivers, so If somebody knows please let me know.
